August Ahlf - Luftwaffe pilot
Hi,
I am looking for information about the Luftwaffe Pilot (Ernst) August Ahlf He used to be a Lufthansa Pilot in prewar and became PoW in 1940 or 1941 (he was then in GB, maybe in Canada, too). I was told he returned to germany in 1943 (???). Any suggestions about unit and career? Thank you Frank |

Hi,
thank you very much for the for the quick reply! I am im contact with one of his nephews and he wanted to know more about his uncle. 20 years ago his old uncle told him about having a part in sinking the cruiser Effingham. But this ship was lost by an accident. Was it ever attacked by the Luftwaffe before? Best regards Frank |
Re: August Ahlf - Luftwaffe pilot
There were many claims by KG 30 off Narvik, many of which were optimistic. I do have a copy of the official loss report if the nephew is interested
